My Dad purchased a One way Sit Down Lathe for the Senior Community he lived at. When he passes away, the lathe was donated to the workshop at the senior community center so that others in wheelchairs could enjoy the wood turning hobby..

Tip number 49 from "Woodturning for People Over a Certain Age:" CHAIRS! So true. So very, very true. Jim, I love this piece! I love how the cherry branches look like they're being stretched and being pulled in the direction of the curves of the hollow form. Very organic with great movement and color! And in the words of almost any great Chinese philosopher you could choose: "None of us are as young as we used to be, grasshopper."

I really loved this piece Jim, & of course blues, purples & hyper-shift pigments are my favourite colours. When you put Dwayne or Baby Dwayne’s on the top to keep the wood from rising, could this be when the tops of the sticks absorb more of the resin colour (when it is in the vacuum pot)? Could this be causing the extra colour absorption on some of the top of the branches? Just a thought, I only know what I have learned from watching your channel. Anyway, another great video! Hope the house sells quickly for you & your wife. 🖖🏽

No, I don’t think so, most of the branches remained submerged in the resin except for the three that escaped. We hope the house sells quickly too, lol. Thanks

Looking directly down on it, it looks like a flower .& the centre of the flower is so precise place to where the opening is!
